Being a small business owner is a wild ride with a lot of ups and downs... on a NORMAL day. Add in a pandemic and holy hell it has been a RIDE! It’s not easy to watch things go up in smoke and have to go back to the drawing board on plans you thought you had. Trust me, I’ve had some dark freaking days… and let’s be real, your mindset and being proactive can only take you so far when you’re in uncharted territory.

Sometimes you just need to embrace the suckiness though and focus on putting one foot in front of the other until you can see some light again. Because it WILL happen. And boy can I tell you I’ve been soaking up every moment of joy and those good days even more now than I even thought possible!

The days you break out into your happy dance not once or twice but three times.
The days you get SO excited because you signed a new project with one of your dream clients.
The days you get off a consulting session and get those warm happy feelings in your heart because you know you just made a difference for someone.
And the days where you get the nicest emails, like happy tears nice😭, from clients who just love working with you...

You might as well call me a happy dancing fool because each and every one of those things happened for me today. I’m posting this for more reasons than just celebrating a good day though.

I’m sharing this to remind you that even though the journey is hard (like really freaking hard sometimes) that it’s worth it. To remind you that betting on yourself will always be worth it no matter how it turns out. To remind you that even though you’ll have some shit days (and sometimes even weeks or months) that it will only make you appreciate those good days even more. And more than anything… to remind you to KEEP GOING! Living (and finding) your purpose is always worth the effort. So keep going, keep learning and keep celebrating each and every win and good day along the way. You’ve got this 🎉

If there's one thing I've learned since taking the entrepreneur jump, it's that you never stop learning! Since I didn't come from an entrepreneurial or business background when I was first starting out I read, read some more, listened to podcasts in-between reading, and watched just about every Facebook Live session and webinar I could find. Nearly 2 years later, not all that much has changed except I'm also one of the people giving advice <-- woh, that feels cool to say! The truth is, we all have different paths to success and there is no better way to find our own paths than from learning from each other.

So when I connected with the host of Creative Hub Conference, an online conference for creative entrepreneurs, I knew I definitely had to check it out! For one thing, the speakers they pulled together are bomb digs! They really brought some amazing women from different industries together including Lara Casey, Casey Wiegand, and Megan from Scarlet & Gold.

Not only are the speakers great, but they're nailing some topics that I know will be super helpful to my fellow goal chases including:

• Leveraging Instagram for your business

• How to grow a business organically and how to do it effectivity

• Book yourself solid without icky sales

• First things first: growing a profitable business while not losing sight of your priorities

• Blogging and social media with purpose

• Plus many, many more

Plus, the conference is online and pre-recorded which means you can watch all 15 hours at your leisure aka curled up on the couch in your Pjs -- the best way to get your learning on right?!

Whether you're dreaming of starting a biz, working on your side hustle, or a seasoned entrepreneur I def think this conference is for you which is why I had to share!
